Maulana Haideri: Conspiracies against CPEC ‘will be foiled’

Maulana Haideri says nation and army ready to give a befitting response to India

QUETTA: Conspiracies being hatched by India and other elements against the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project would be foiled, said Deputy Chairman Senate Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri.

He issued the warning while addressing a public meeting in Kalat.

The Secretary General of JUI-F said if India planned to impose war on Pakistan, the entire nation and Army would give a befitting response and would defend every inch of the motherland. He, however, added that India would not go to war with Pakistan as it’s a nuclear power.



The deputy chairman strongly criticised the attitude of the Indian prime minister, saying he was the killer of several thousands innocent Muslims in the Indian state of Gujarat.

He also dismissed the Indian army’s claim of surgical strike. He reiterated that Pakistan want to resolve all issues through negotiations.

Haidri said that CPEC would open new opportunities of economic development in the entire region and would provide jobs and economic stability to the people of Balochistan.

However, he added that the first right of jobs and other benefits of CPEC should be given to the people of Gwadar and then other areas of Balochistan and Pakistan.

He added that JUI-F will continue its struggle for removing the reservations of the people regarding the corridor project.
